These items have me slightly concerned and weighs on my decision, making me want to "take the money and run".Question: Would you sell, abandoning a 3.125% interest rate, $1000/mo cashflow (which I believe would be roughly halved if a loan were taken for the capital improvements to the larger property), to lock in the equity gains tax-free made since 2020?

Hey Eli, Great question on the 6% and it does play a factor into the cash flow.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

This question never has a "best" answer, only best for your situation!

Nat, question to you.What happens if the tenant has like 50K - 100K or more in their checking / savings / retirement accounts?

@Michael OverallYour question is good.

If you have any specific questions, I’d be glad to help!

I'd be happy to connect further regarding your questions about more specific and nuanced details. 

Does anyone have experience with seller finance? There is a house near mine that is abandoned. I got a hold of the owner by looking up his information on the county website. I asked if he was willing to sell the house...

My question for the group is would my hours as a contractor also count twoards the needed 750 hours?
